Stayed at the Waldorf Astoria the one and only time I've ever been to New York.  Awesome hotel, really close to lots of stuff, though I don't really remember where the Chrysler Building was in relation to it (must not have been too far away if it came up in your own search).  My trip was kind of a s...

The diner is pretty delicious, but also really far north on Range Line, so maybe not super convenient.  All of shaffe's recommendations are pretty good, and so is the diner if you're up for a little bit of a drive (in fairness, it's only a long way by Columbia standards, it's probably like 10-15 min...

Royals Authority cited this Braves site which claims that the Royals are currently the front runners for Colon.  But that site lists no sources and the Braves haven't even shown any interest in Colon themselves, so I guess take it with a grain of salt.  Also mentions that the Mets and Diamondbacks ...

Well if they ever decide to update aesthetically, I'd be glad to take all their awesome movie posters off their hands.

how was the presentation? dark? not enough volume? tivoli's projectors must be on their last leg. I thought the presentation was fine.  Obviously it's a very dark movie, but I didn't think it seemed to be unusually dark.  The volume level was fine, although there were some audio quirks, this occasi...

Caught I'm Not There and Blade Runner at the Tivoli today.  Blade Runner was cool, but I don't feel it needs much explanation given that it's 25 years old and all and everyone here who's interested in it has probably seen it before.  Fun to see it on the big screen, though.  I'm Not There was...inte...

The wife had me see "Waitress". I really don't get what the big fuss was all about that movie, it was a perfectly pedestrian chick flick. i'll definitely be renting this one.... i want to go see the bob dylan one at the tivoli. anyone seen it? Planning to check it out next week.  I'll pro...

I hate Huckabee.  He's a complete moron.  Even when he's fumbling around trying to make a point that might be valid, the way he gets there is totally stupid and ridiculous.  Check his exchange against Ron Paul regarding the "surge" a few months ago, for example.  Paul talks about how the I...

I didn't really have a problem with the violence in Sweeney Todd, I guess partly just because I don't have a problem with movie violence in general, but also because the violence in Sweeney Todd in particular was a little ridiculous and unrealistic.  The blood didn't look very real and the whole thi...

Chef and Max are right that what's happening now isn't really Herm's fault.  We just let the offense get too old and never really prepared to replace them with younger guys, same thing that happened to the Raiders in 2003 after making it to the Super Bowl in 2002.  That said, I still don't really lo...

Ha! I just saw Juno and my only complaints are the same as yours, and I swear I actually did physically cringe when she said "honest to blog". The dialogue at the very beginning of the film is all "hey, look how clever we are!" and I was afraid this movie was totally overrated. ...

I'm flattered, but that's actually how I feel about Max.

Pretty much spent this entire week watching movies.  Saw Juno more times than I care to admit, plus Sweeney Todd, Atonement, and I finally got around to seeing Michael Clayton. Juno was hands down my favorite movie of the year.  I keep hearing people who haven't seen it yet wondering how it is compa...

Catching is about a lot more than having "a hot bat". And if thats Hillmans criteria for starting a catcher day to day then he needs to pack it up and head back to Japan. I am going to throw out a number from my ass, but i would contribute .50 points of a good pitchers ERA to a good catch...

I don't know whether it's fair to declare the Buck "experiment" over.  Olivo has posted very Buck-like stats throughout his career and is also a couple years older than Buck.  I imagine that whoever has the better spring will open the season as the starter, and from then on, Hillman will p...

Baloney.  JoCo had 145K people in 1960, KCMO 475K.    (Today it's 520K vs. 440K).  KCMO has actually declined while JoCo more than tripled in size.    As for "metro" growth rates, JoCo had almost 400K of the 800K increase since 1960.  Unlike you, the numbers don't lie. What part of what K...

Interesting phenomena. When were discussing the Chef's amongst ourselves, we rip 'em, say they suck, say Carl is a tool, etc. When an outsider says essentially the same thing, we circle the wagons and criticize them. Just sayin'  I don't really care if people in Nebraska hate the Chiefs.  I just th...

I have to disagree about Darjeeling.  I thought it was a boring, meandering mess.  A plot-less character sketch would be all right if Wes Anderson movies actually had real characters and not just bland caricatures who all speak with the same voice.  I liked Rushmore and I thought Tenenbaums had its ...

I can't imagine seeing so few movies that three in the past month seems weird.  I love movies.  Just in the last few days I've watched Chinatown, Mississippi Mermaid, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade, Speed, Superbad, the new Futurama movie...  Just saw I Am Legend tonight.  I typically average about...

I know he isn't the best QB to get but he is certainly better than Croyle or Huard. There are not going to be many good QB's available this year in FA. Johnny Unitas would be better than Croyle or Huard too, but I'm not ready to send a first round pick to the cemetery so we can dig him up and put a...
